Hello everyone

I know this is such a cliche question but after finding old pictures of myself recently and coming back from the shops this morning when some kids heading off to school early, has got me thinking about what my 13 year old self would think of me?

To explain what I was like at that age got revealed in a school report that I found a few months ago.

In short I was quiet, which is a lot different to how I am now aka I don’t really shut up haha,

Well that’s a lie, I still like to be quiet at times and like my alone time even at 33.

It was around 13 when I started to notice girls, not the same way a normal boy would have noticed girls, while I did start to like some girls, it was every other girl and woman I had in my life in my time I was just admired by. I was really confused about what I was thinking, there were people trying to help me but didn’t know what advice to give me.

To answer the point of this post, I think my 13 year old self would be interested to know the journey I have been on to get this point.

I say my old self would notice that I am happier now because I can finally get some better understanding of the thoughts I had.

If I could tell my old self anything, it would say to be open about myself a bit earlier than I did and that it wasn’t a phase that I shouldn’t be embarrassed of having.

I think that’s everything I could think of, thanks for reading.
